The exhibition showcases the contemporary ink art practices of Choi Hoi Ying. Audiences will find out how Choi merges painting, calligraphy and traditional Chinese aesthetics into contemporary ink art pieces. Choi not only expresses forms, spirits and poeticness through brush strokes and various cunfa and the Yin and Yang of natural landscape through the contrast of opaque and blank space in his paintings, but he also combines traditional crafts such as paper wrapping, paper craving and collage and relief used in ancient rock art in his contemporary ink art installations.
In addition, the discussions, interactions with students and experiment in Chinese and Western art forms and techniques during his residency in the Academy of Visual Arts has led him producing an essential part of a large scale ink art installation, opening up a new dimension of ink art practice.
